Meet Dr. Tasha Wilson,
Owner & Operator of Acupetvet

Read about Dr. Tasha Wilson’s involvement with NOMV and the Seacoast New England chapter she helped to form.

From a young age, Dr. Tasha Wilson, DVM, was passionate about caring for animals. After earning her Bachelor’s in Science from St. Anselm College in NH, she fulfilled her lifelong dream by graduating from Atlantic Veterinary College in Prince Edward Island, Canada, in 2005. Dr. Wilson spent several years in general veterinary practice before exploring alternative therapies, which would ultimately broaden the options she could offer in pet health care.

“I believe in conventional veterinary medicine, but I also wanted to provide integrative therapies for pets that could benefit from a broader approach to health and healing,” she explains.

Her journey into integrative pet care began with a focus on veterinary nutrition, attending workshops, consulting with board-certified veterinary nutritionists, and visiting pet food manufacturing facilities. This expertise allows Dr. Wilson to educate clients on how customized pet nutrition can support overall health, longevity, and vitality.

In 2016, Dr. Wilson earned certification in Medical Acupuncture for pets through Colorado State University. This evidence-based therapy provides additional options for pain relief, healing, and wellness, complementing traditional veterinary treatments.

“If I would have recommended it for my own pet, why would I not offer it to my patients? It’s a great tool to help control pain, and other ailments in pets”. 

By 2018, Dr. Wilson had expanded her skills with certification in pet rehabilitation therapy through the Canine Rehabilitation Institute. This therapy benefits pets with mobility issues, especially older pets and those recovering from injuries, by improving pain relief, strength, balance, and flexibility.

After two years of operating a mobile pet acupuncture clinic, Dr. Wilson started a “brick and mortar” in Somersworth, NH, veterinary clinic in 2018. Her practice grew and in 2022, Dr Wilson and her husband , Ken Wilson, built their “Acupetvet home” in Dover, NH.

At Acupetvet, we provide comprehensive integrative health care, including acupuncture, pet rehabilitation, and joint supplement counseling, all in a comfortable setting…

” I know pets can become anxious in veterinary settings so I made the lobby area welcoming with dog beds, and leather chairs; and each treatment room looks like a living room. The dogs enjoy their dog beds, and the cats sit on a comfortable ottoman as the sun basks down on them during their treatment.”
